Cp Exam Done My Appeal Need Help Please!

[AlekseiFL]

Hey All,

Its Very hard for me to write, due to im on 27 prescitptions a day im very , very medicated so forgive my mistkes please.

Ive been turned down for VA Pension before and My Case for pension is on Appeal atm.

Im Disabled Vet I received Medical Honorable Discharge but have been fighting for pension for very long time.

I am 100% Disabled I have zero income im awaiting SSD/SSI hearing and Miltary Pension have Lawyer.

Im not geting any Navy Pension at all.

I have Chrons Disease,Ulcertive Coltis,Chronic Abdomional Pain,Bio Polar 2,Anxiety Disorder,Depression Disorder,PST and geting checked for sleep apnea as well, as Nurelogy issue with tremors.

I just Had Cp-Pension meeting with the Doctor he was very understanding and also by the way was Retired Navy Captain as well as Doctor.

He told me was supposed to see them In 2007 Cp Pension but had Missed it, I never new about it, was bunch them was sick for.

Anyway Retired Navy Captain at my Cp-Pension exam was very nice, understanding at end he Told me here is what happens, In about 6 weeks will get Award Letter from VA.

He Knows have no income and maybe homeless soon, so he told me dont worry im reviewed you medical info and your 100% Disabled , he said futhermore he was Recommending that I get 100% Service Connected.

I was Stunned to say the Least had heard and been waiting years to get even any percent, always felt 1 day if didnt die 1st or die due to sucide 1st that would get 100% pension.

So asked the Doctor at cp pension exam what does that mean will get what % he said since been waiting years and years with nothing and medical documents are so through that I would for sure get 50% at very least to 100% max full service connected with backpay told me, award letter will come to me in 6 weeks.

Here is My issue he told me that for sure slam dunk that at very least would get 50% to start with backpay service connected up to 100% to start but my Pension is on Appeal so does what doctor told me is that true will find out in 6 weeks?

I run out of rent vouchers in 2 monthes will be homeless if not have , cat and dog, I dont smoke or drink, and no drugs.

I spoke to my Lawyer he said even Know were appealing he said , all their waiting on his Cp pension exam results to decide on my case, but have heard from others, you need Pension Hearing before they decide , but my lawyer told me pension hearing most time are useless, they can decide without you going to one.

But VA people told me could be years for appeal Process, like said so is what doctor told me true will find out cp - pension award letter in 6 weeks, and my long suffering will be over and be to move out of this crappy hotel, in very bad neighboorhood?

Even if get 50-100% pension service connected will get few years backpay so be to move to decent area and get car again, and have income to get basic needs, till get my SSD hearing and backpay from that.

I know im hard to follow, please help me its all My meds im on.

thank you

I know carly. I read it but the C&P examiner isn't on the rating board.

If you just go ahead and expect a decision in 6 months and it happens sooner then you will be more content and not drive yourself crazy if you don't get a decision in 6 weeks.

It's all about mindset.

In reality even 6 months is a long shot as it is not an original claim from a 21-526

nor OIF/OEF.

It's all speculation but I would just have a mindset of it taking longer than 6 weeks so you're not dissapointed.

We can all say it's gonna take 6 months, a year, two years, even more but no one knows due to factors such as a complicated claim, backload, and others.

Welcome to Hadit.

My opinion is simple. You have a Lawyer so you need to let the Lawyer handle you claim unless you discover on Hadit that the Lawyer in ineffective. No one can tell you how long your claim will take. We know it is frustrating but the only thing you really can do is closely monitor what is going on and know this. A C&P exam can lead to an award in 6 weeks but it also can take much longer if the claim is complicated.

I know things look bad but many here have gone through similar problems that you have and all survived.

Hang in there and don't give up.

It would help to know why you were denied for VA and Social Security. With all of the conditions you have listed it seems that both agencies should expidite your claim.

Had SSD Hearing after 3 year of waiting with Lawyer.

Social Secuirty Judge said I was to educated basically had to much miltary training as well, so he said he would wait to rule till social secuirty sent me to civillain Doctor then he would decide on SSD-SSI and backpay.

Lawyer told me that will take them like 3-4 more monthes atleast as slow as they are to get me to civillain doctor before he rules on my case , to me with all VA Miltary specialist doctors have this is utterly and totally retarded.

I find it to be very unusual that your pension claim is on appeal.

Why did VA deny it in the first place?

Do you have a service connection claim in progress too?
